Check this out. A whole large colander full of strawberries! What can I do with all that?? Sure, it would be super yummy if we just ate it with cream...but how much strawberries can we actually eat? :P
Well, the first thing I did was to separate the strawberries out in three different bowls, according to size. I have learnt not to wash the strawberries or to remove their caps until I am ready to eat them or use them in a recipe. Since strawberries absorb water easily, washing them makes them turn soggy and soft. The caps of the strawberries keeps moisture from entering the strawberries.
I added about 1/2 a cup of sugar and mixed it together with the strawberry slices and set it aside at room temperature for about 15 minutes to macerate. I then popped it into the refrigerator.
In the next few posts, I will share with you what we made with the strawberries. We still have a little bit more left but here is a list of the stuff that we have already made thus far.
- Chocolate & Almond Coated Strawberries
- Strawberry Champagne Punch
- Thick Strawberry Milkshake
- Strawberry & Chocolate Sundae
- Strawberry Shortcake
I might make some Strawberry Jam tomorrow if we still have enough strawberries left. I don't know, I'm currently going into a strawberry overload mode. Maybe we might just take a little break from all this strawberries for now. :P
